Platform Monitoring for Pivotal Cloud Foundry (PCF)
To separate the task of configuring APM and infrastructure monitoring, we've introduced a new tile on the Pivotal Network specifically for platform monitoring. There are now two AppDynamics tiles: Application Monitoring for PCF for configuring APM and Transaction Analytics, and Platform Monitoring for PCF for configuring infrastructure monitoring with KPI dashboards, health rules and alerts. Quick to install with minimal configuration, the new tile uses little memory and you can choose which AppDynamics Tile to deploy to each environment. We also updated the Nozzle implementation, replacing the Machine Agent-based metrics reporting mechanism with a light, Go Language-compliant Go SDK. To take advantage of this tile, you’ll need a Go SDK AppDynamics license. Read the full documentation and blog post for details, or learn about our recent Pivotal Award for Outstanding Solutions and Services .
Machine Agent Independent Release
Starting in 4.5.2, you can take advantage of the newest Machine Agent enhancements and bug fixes without waiting for a Controller upgrade. The latest Machine Agents are backwards compatible with any 4.4.0+ Controller, so you can upgrade your agents while upgrading your Controller at a time that works best for you. Read the full documentation for more details.
Health Rules for Network Visibility Metrics
A new health rule type, Advanced Network, allows you to easily set health rules for metrics related to network activity, such as PIE (performance impact events), zero window, data retransmission, and errors. Read the full documentation for details.
Custom Correlation for Standalone Agents
Starting in 4.5.2, you can implement custom correlation to trace transactions spanning across tiers or parent-child threads using the .NET Microservices Agent for .NET Core and the .NET full framework. With custom correlation, you can gain deeper insight into your application, even when the default detection mechanisms are not capable of auto-correlating transaction. Read more configuring this for the .NET Microservices Agent here .
Full Zend Opcache Support
The PHP Agent is now fully compatible with Zend Opcache. Get the benefit of significant performance uplift by turning on Zend Opcache and get full visibility with AppDynamics. Review the full documentation on PHP versions and agent support.
IIB Agent: Auto-Discovery and Monitoring of Database Calls
The IIB Agent now automatically detects and monitors database interactions within flows, highlighting the impact of database performance on the performance of Business Transactions flowing through the IIB broker. Read the full documentation for details on the IBM Integration Bus Agent.
EUM Correlation for Vert.x http
Get the benefit of correlation EUM visibility and Business Transaction visibility with applications built on the Vert.x framework. Read the full documentation for details on supported Java frameworks.
Enhanced Masking Capabilities for Sensitive Data Collection
We've enhanced your data redaction capabilities to prevent sensitive personally identifiable information to be collected and exposed outside of the application. For more details, see the full documentation
Out of the Box Support for Jetty HTTP Client Versions 8 and 9
The out of the box configuration for the Jetty HTTP client, frequently used within Java applications, has been enhanced to provide automatic detection and correlation for versions 8 and 9 of the Jetty Client. For more details on out HTTP Client support, see the full documentation.
ADQL String Manipulation Functions
AppDynamics users who have collected data in the wrong structure, type, serialization, or format have previously needed to adjust their agent settings to specifically focus on insights of interest. Starting in 4.5.2, BiQ ADQL users have access to string manipulation functions, which empower ad-hoc data transformation for all event data in the analytics event service. With string information functions which return string length() and the indexOf() certain characters in a string, users can easily hone in on a substring(), combine multiple strings with the concat() operator, and trim() out unnecessary repeated characters from the beginning and ends of fields. Read the full documentation for details.
Extensions
This month, we developed four new AWS Kinesis extensions for capturing statistics from Amazon CloudWatch and displaying them in the AppDynamics Metric Browser:
AWS Kinesis Data Streams Monitoring Extension
AWS Kinesis Analytics Monitoring Extension
AWS Kinesis Firehose Monitoring Extension
AWS Kinesis Video Streams Monitoring Extension

Download Essential Components AppDynamics Upgrade Checklist For Any Release
Please note: The versioning of AppDynamics language agents is done independently of each other and the Controller. Therefore, you do not need to keep track of your agent versions. 4.5 agents are backward-compatible with any 4.4.1 or higher Controller, so you can simply download and install the latest version of the agent and it is guaranteed to work. See Agent and Controller Compatibility for more information.

Follow the five steps below to upload requested files to the AppDynamic drop zone for your Zendesk help ticket. The drop zone is designed to handle uploads of files exceeding the 20 MB limit of the support system. It provides a web-based (HTTPS-secured) upload mechanism capable of handling files in the multi-gigabyte range.
1. Navigate to the AppDynamics drop zone URL that is sent to you in your Zendesk help ticket and enter the same email address used for your AppDynamics account and Zendesk. Please note that the link is ticket-specific.
Example URL: https://upload.appdynamics.com/dropzone/support/146558
2. Select the file(s) to upload by dragging them into the "Drag files here or click to add file" field. Alternatively, click on the field, select the file(s) to upload, and click "Open." Important: There is some browser-side pre-processing of the file(s) that may take time, depending on the file size. When this is completed, the drop zone will show the file(s) first as "%" processed and then as "Completed." Please note that this does NOT mean the file was already uploaded.
3. Submit the selected file(s) for upload.
4. The AppDynamics drop zone will display a confirmation message after successfully completing the upload.
5. At this point, you are done. If necessary, you can "Upload More Files" in case you missed one. In your ticket view, you should see a comment like the one below confirming the upload.
